Strengths:
Honesty: Employers want accurate and timely information regarding their business and their
employees. Made a mistake? Don’t cover it up, admit it, and learn not to do it again.

Flexibility: Employers and their employees need to react quickly to changing business conditions.
Employers need employees who can change gears and adapt as required.

Problem-Solving Skills: Companies are looking for people who are motivated to take on challenges with
minimal direction. Employees should see when something needs to be done and react accordingly.

Loyalty: Employers want and need to be able to trust their employees to work professionally to meet
the employer’s best interests. Employers do not want to hire people who require close scrutiny or who
cannot be trusted to represent the company in public.

Communication Skills: The ability to communicate clearly and effectively in many mediums: by email,
verbally, with lists and phone messages, on the phone, and with body language. Communication also
includes listening skills and the ability to follow directions and provide feedback.
Weaknesses:
I focus too much on the details: Being detail-oriented is typically a good thing, but if you’re someone who
tends to spend too much time on the specifics of a project, it could also be considered a weakness. By sharing
that you focus too much on details, you’re showing your interviewer that you’re capable of helping the
organization avoid even minor mistakes.
 I have a hard time letting go of a project: When you’ve spent a great deal of time and effort on
something, it’s easy to feel apprehensive about marking it complete or passing it on to another team.
There’s always room for improvement and some people tend to over-criticize their own work or attempt
last-minute changes, which can threaten the timeline.
 I have trouble saying “no: Helping colleagues on projects and properly managing your workload is an
artful balance. From an employer’s perspective, someone who accepts all requests seems dedicated and
eager—but can also be someone who doesn’t know their limits and ends up needing help or deadline
extensions to finish their work.
 I could use more experience in: Each candidate has areas to improve upon in their expertise. Maybe it’s
something specific like building pivot tables in Excel. Perhaps it’s a skill like math, writing or public
speaking. Whatever the case, sharing something you want to improve upon shows the interviewer that
you’re self-aware and like to challenge yourself. Be sure, however, that you don’t answer with a
weakness that is essential to the role.
 I sometimes lack confidence: Lack of confidence is a common weakness, especially among entry-level
contributors. Experiencing a lack of confidence can sometimes cause inefficiencies in your work. For
example, you might feel unqualified to speak up at an important meeting when your idea could help the
team to achieve a goal.
